August 2021: Candle Fragrance & Colour Trends

A new month is upon us and as we roll over into the height of the Summer, it is the perfect time to make the most of fruity and fresh scents.

Colours

Traditional sunshine colours such as Green, Blue, White, and Pink are all ideal as we continue to enjoy the Summer, but the shades begin to darken slightly as the summer progresses.

You can purchase a wide range of Inpex candle dyes here.

Fragrance trends in August are fresh and natural scents to combat the Summer heat and make you feel cool and refreshed. Here are the top trends for this month:

Golden Wax Comparison: Which soy wax should I choose?

We are often asked questions such as ‘what is the difference between the Golden Waxes?’ and ‘which soy wax should I use?’ To help make this easier, we have put together a handy wax comparison chart for the Golden Wax 494, Golden Wax 464, and Golden Wax 444: The Similarities All three of the Golden Waxes are manufactured by AAK.

When this happens, it means that the wick has absorbed a sufficient amount of wax and the wick can now be removed from the wax.
